This doesn't answer your question but I'd suggest giving it a try with
a relatively new (and free) nav package called OpenCPN. I've been
testing it as an eventual replacement for my Maptech OSN and have been
favorably impressed so far. It's an easy install and loads quickly.

I just set this up and it looks quite good. It reads the NOAA vector charts
without a fuss, unlike Capn Voyager. The way things are going with Capn, I
do not see that any effort is being made to update and maintain the product
since its sale in Sep 08 to Star Technologies, so this open source app is an
even better idea. Will test at the boat yard shortly and report. Thanks
for heads up.
